it 'could' look neat, but I think it would be a waste of money. If you were gonna do anything do the supra taillights, i'd just put the s2000 ok ebay.

Yea I remember someone here done that s2000 tailight conversion.
Maybe you could asked him how much it cost him to do. But I would probably sell them and get JDM taillights and there is probably some change left over for projectors

Check out previous featured rides.
I think it would be a waste of money unless your going for the look, or your a show car like hers. I plan on doing mabey a S2k tailight swap or a Solara swap. Probley looking at least 800$ if not more. DTE -------------------- I am a thief.
do not buy anything from me. |

Definiately not a nice look (supra tailights).
I dont see the point of front and rear end conversions, unless your aiming for show-car status. But even some of them look bad. The s2k conversion looks good. But like I said if you got the money and want to do it by all means, but I still reckon the JDM tails are HOT. -------------------- 98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

Exactly , i think hes right JDM's are the way to go - s2000's for a show car or someone with too much money but the supra's should be left for the incredible supra

tailight conversions aren't exactly cheap, but look good. The supra taillights have been overdone on every car and truck you can think of. If you don't have money, stay away, since its going to involve cutting your sheetmetal.

Don't go Supra! The Celica already looks like a mini Supra - but the thing is, it looks different. Don't try to make it like a Supra.
The S2000 taillights on the red car looks good. But like the S15 Silvia frontend conversion on an S13(240SX) or S14, it only looks good if it's done right... Be prepared to pay a lot in fibreglassing. And be prepared to cry if you have rear-end damage.

OreO's looks good because he swapped a supra bumper on there as well. Its not a Celica rear end, its all supra.. except the hatch

i know that person who did that s2000 conversion. i talked to him over email. i was interested into it too. he said that there's a lot of custom work to be done → the s2000 lights are much deeper then the celi's and of course the shape is different too.

I think some of the conversions look very nice, but imho I bought my car cause i love the way the celica looks, and i'd never change it.
